At the recent inaugural Opening on the Grundfos Pumps Victorian / Tasmanian State Office, Mr. Søren Ø. Sørensen, Grundfos’ Group Executive Vice President, announced its $30,000 contribution to the Australian Red Cross 2009 Victorian Bushfire Appeal. Following on from the announcement, one of Grundfos’ valued Authorised Dealer Groups - the B.K.B. Group - confirmed that they would also make a corporate donation. Mr Bala Thuraisingam of B.K.B. Pumps & Tanks Pty Ltd, and Mr Andrew Black of B.K.B. Envirotech, each pledged $5,000 to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal.
The B.K.B. Group share Grundfos’ social commitments and hope their $10,000 appeal contribution will assist all families directly affected by
this tragedy.
Mr Steen Jensen, Managing Director of Grundfos Pumps Pty Ltd. said, “At Grundfos we believe in building strong and lasting partnerships with our Dealer Network, as they are a key element in our business success. By working closely with our dedicated Dealer Network, we hope to provide not only a monetary contribution to the bushfire relief effort, but also to help re-build water infrastructure where it is needed.”
Grundfos Pumps has been in Australia for over 25 years and plays a major part in ensuring a reliable water supply to townships and farming communities. Grundfos Pumps will continue to provide energy efficient pump and pumping system solutions by working closely with the Grundfos Dealer network to support the people affected by the bushfires, to once again build a sustainable water supply.
